    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • There was a lot going on but again because I am outside of London I was unable to take part in most of them...I did get the emails about them though!

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • It's not too bad but I did need to continue with my other employment at the evenings and weekends which meant working quite a few 18 hour days.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • As I was a student in Bristol I was already familiar with the city and had lived here for 3 years previously.

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
